LOL this guy!

Looks are completely subjective and most 300zx's are thrashed ghetto POS cars.

Just not worth the time and money to search for a clean TT. Would I rock one? Hell yes I would, they're freaking sweet cars but they've taken their toll.

I sure as hell wouldn't trade a new car for one a decade and a half old, not unless I wanted to spend a lot of time under it instead of in it.

I love my 300zx and my 370z Nismo. road wish I enjoy driving my Nismo better. But straight line 300zx wins! But keep in mind you cant let your 300zx sit for a long time or you will start having problems with your injectors. Also if you cant do your own engine work due to tools or know how, go ahead and put $1000 down for labor charge on a TT. Just deside what you like more. Both cars are worth ever penny you put in them!

Dangit I'm a false Z owner... :-(

GTFO THEN!!!

lol jk

:roflpuke2:

So owning a 370Z doesnt make me a true Z owner? The 370Z is way better looking. But its all personal preference some like the old classic style while some like the new designs.

In 1995 sticker on my TT was $45,000. Quite a bit more than this one 15 years later. It was built to a higher standard. Easily the best car I've ever owned.
As far as maintenance, I had few problems. A water pump which I combined with the 60,000 service and all new belts just as a preventative while they were in there. A broken vacuum line twice and a knock sensor. This was my DD for nearly 15 years, and the 370 in the first 4 months has already had more time in the shop than the 300. I long for my old dependable beauty. T top's too.

The 300zxTT is a great car, but most of them will need basic maintenance done. Unless you get one with records in great condition. Look us Seb from Specialty Z (a forum sponsor) He is the guy to talk to about the 300zx (and the 370z). You can sometimes get a "stage 3", ie 400whp+, 300zx for around or even under $10,000.

I'm with you. The build quality of the 300ZX was great. I've had mine 14 years with only a leaky power steering hose and a starter giving me issues over that time.

However, when buying one be thorough. Maintenance can be pricey. At 20 years old the wiring harness may start to become brittle (mine did) and that requires pulling the motor to change. I am in that process now (I take my time, lol) and the upgrades I am doing, by choice, in this project - turbos, injectors, fuel rails, intercoolers - is running upwards of $4000. The turbos and injectors were both at end of life, I would have had to replace them soon.

The result is the car will be fantastic, but I still need a repaint and a new front bumper cover and a few other items to get it completely restored. All that on a car I have owned for 14 years, driven regularly (90,000 miles on car) and kept in a garage. If you buy one I can only imagine the potential maintenance you may have to do. Be diligent!

That being said, some people have 300ZXTT's for sale in great condition. Expect to pay at least $16-$20K for one of those.

Its BY FAR the best car I have ever owned, and I've had 5 Z's.

I say do it!

I can't decide which one I think looks better ;)

Actually from Texas Z Nationals of 08. :)

True Z Owners are people who have been into Z cars for years and owned multiple Z cars. I am not talking about new owners of a Z car like the 370z that have only had that car. Because those people will be biased towards THEIR car only and not the previous generations of all the Z's. For that matter, some weren't born when the Z32 came out that might own the 370z.

The 370z is nice, but IMHO, and many will agree with it as they have at many conventions, the Z32 is the cream of the crop. Reason why they are in high demand for TT models now and the prices for one are higher than they should be. Kinda like the Toyota Supra.

Says you :rolleyes:

Look, the guy owns a 350Z. Easily the fugliest Z since the 280ZX 2+2.
